  • Develop and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to measure business health and operational effectiveness.
  • Collaborate with the Finance team to ensure accurate financial data, accelerate and improve the month-end close processes, and align on GAAP reporting impacts.

  • Act as the primary administrator for all FP&A-related systems and manual models, ensuring data integrity and accuracy.

  • Expert-level financial modeling skills (3-statement, detailed operating and departmental models, cash flow forecasting) with the ability to build, maintain, and audit complex financial models.
  • Deep understanding of SaaS business models, key performance indicators (KPIs), and unit economics.
  • Experience with advanced FP&A systems (e.g., Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, NetSuite Planning and Budgeting, Pigment, Runway) and modern ERP systems (NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Sage Intacct, Workday).
  • Strong analytical horsepower with the ability to synthesize large datasets into actionable insights for finance and business partners.
  • Experience at a high-growth technology company, pre-IPO company, or publicly traded company.
  • Experience supporting operational groups (e.g., Sales, Marketing, R&D) with budgeting, variance analysis, and ROI measurement.
  • Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) and advanced database query skills (SQL).
  • Demonstrated experience in managing financial processes during month-end close in partnership with Finance.
